I use Always pads and pantiliners because I like their designs and they fit me better. I tried using LadyCups in size large (based on the guidelines on their site), but they were a bit too large and uncomfortable for me, and I also think they're too messy to handle.

I use Tampax Pearl. I want a Diva cup or the like, but I haven't got around to getting one.
09/06/2012
I have a Lunette and a MeLuna cup. I prefer cups because I like not having to wear external products. I have never encountered a tampon that didn't leak constantly for me, but I can wear cups without back-up. It's also less wasteful, and although the investment is initially high, I haven't had to buy pads and tampons for about 6 months.

I have a Lunette cup. It's just better for my body and the environment, plus I save a lot of money. I don't really need to change while I'm out. You can keep them in longer than tampons (12 hours, I believe?) and I'm not usually out of the house for that long. If you did need to empty it, you could do so in the toilet and rinse it with water from a bottle within the cubicle, or use a wet wipe.

I use Always ultra thin pads and panty liners. sometimes I'll use O.B tampons. I would like to try the mama cloth pads but haven't had the money to invest in them as of yet. I would also like to try the new Diva Cup maybe someday.

After using pads for years (couldn't use tampons due to serious discomfort) and switching to a Divacup, I have to say that the cup is honestly more convenient than pads. With the cup, I can be out and about all day and never once have to think about taking care of menstrual stuff. I feel cleaner, and except for the rare heavy flow I don't have to bother emptying the cup until I'm home or otherwise in a more comfortable situation than a public restroom. In even it can't be helped, cleanup is easily done by wetting some paper towels and taking them in with you, and using them to give the cup a quick wipe before re-inserting.
I'm never going back to pads! Though I do still use pantyliners at the end of a period, when I don't really need the cup but still have some spotting.

Kotex pads and Tampax Tampons for me.
09/06/2012
I use disposable panty liners pretty much everyday just for discharge. I'm not brand loyal, and will use anything EXCEPT Always. I don't like the plastic-ky material they use and it irritates my skin. I prefer to buy the store brand that is most similar to Kotex.
For periods I use my silicone DivaCup. My only regret is waiting so long to try it. I love love LOVE my DivaCup!!

I used to use Tampax Pearl tampons exclusively, until I had my son. After that, tampons never felt quite right so I switched to pads. Usually I go with the Meijer store brand ultra thin ones, which are comparable to Always but much cheaper. Last month I tried using tampons again, but still did the pads some of the time.
I've thought about trying the Instead cups. I would definitely want to try out a disposable version of those before investing in a more permanent one, to make sure I would like it.
As for why I use disposable pads and tampons, well, I never truly realized there were such things as reusable pads until my mid-to-late twenties. I don't think I've ever seen such thing as a reusable tampon.
When I was the right age to start getting my period soon, my mom bought me a couple different varieties of disposable pads & tampons, gave them to me and told me to figure out which ones I liked best. Once I got comfortable with which ones I liked, I didn't give it much thought again for a really long time.

For the most part I use Always Infinity (while I'm sleeping or feeling particularly slouchy that day) or Tampax Pearl with a liner just in case, but I just started trying out the Instead Softcups. I usually have extra long shifts at work, and I like not having to worry about "checking myself" every couple of hours to make sure there are no leaks. So far they've worked pretty good.

I've been curious about the rephresh tampons. If you don't mind me asking, have you noticed any differences between the rephresh and other tampons you've tried? Why do you like the rephresh better?

Originally I bought the MeLuna (medium, classic, stemless) which fit me, but my flow was too much for it to handle. After that I bought the Lunette large because its capacity is almost double than the medium MeLuna.

Now that I'm on birth control, though, my flow is extremely light. I went back to the MeLuna because it's less rigid and more comfortable. The large Lunette has some extreme suction because it's pretty hard, and it has a habit of popping open before it should, even though I consider my pelvic muscles to be pretty strong. Although sometimes if I'm going to be out for a while, I'll wear the Lunette because I could now probably wear it an entire day before filling it.

I love my Divacup and have convinced several women to switch over and they love it too.

I use disposable pads or pantyliner's. Or tampons sometimes. That is only when I am not on the Depo shot and cleaning out my system. On the shot I don't bleed or spot.
